The way you engaged this is the reason I downvoted.

You went 0-100 and need to bring it back down my friend.

It is appropriate to the scale of how much this wrecks lives when people are young and struggling. It is deeply personal to me. The negativity is telling me, "this is not a place for me; that no one cares; that the people I've lost do not matter here." That's fine. I go do other things. Maybe I'll forget about it, or maybe the depressing hurt doesn't go away. It doesn't really matter now. Down votes mean fuck you, go away as far as I'm concerned. They impact me 100:1 over any positivity or engagement. I'm only here for some kind of social connection due to physical disability and social isolation. I have been getting abused for the last 3 days IRL under complicated circumstances where family is incapable of comprehending my needs and how they impact me. So stuff like this here... fuck it, what do I matter. I will be one of these statistics once my folks die. It is that or homelessness and I'm already falling apart after 10 years of this at just 40yo... I refused to give up. When the terrorists took my license, when they killed my business, I got on a bike and made the best of it. These terrorists are why I'm disabled. I was laid off from a six figure job I got through nepotism just before my daughter was born. I tried so hard to get another job like that, but I hadn't worked there long enough and the union rep told me to my face, train all you want while you pay dues but I'm never sending you on a real job. I went until I ran out of savings and went back to auto body paint. Two years later, used car sales died for months in the Atlanta area and I had absolutely no work. The initial amount I owed was set for $130k when I was on unemployment. Nothing I tried got that changed for over 6 months. Even after that, the amount was more than I could make and survive on, like not even close. You can't own a business and deal with child services. If those terrorists see any indication you can pay more, they are incentivised to abuse the man.

Even after 3 years in a case that disabled me, the lawyers worked with dcss to negotiate a way to pay off everything I owed and close my case. That is what I got for trying to ride a bike to a shit pay job just to have a consistent paycheck, they paid off the criminal extortionists that caused my disability. I have a class A commercial drivers license. It is not strait forward to get that released from the federal and state plus the suspension has to be suppressed as non driving related or I'm uninsurable. The lack of continuous coverage means insurance is unaffordable in the first place. I can not begin to describe my hate for this place and anyone that has anything to do with it.

To top it off, my fiancé was cheating on me while I was working 7/12's for nearly 2 months when that union job was trying to see if I would just quit. While I got the job, many didn't like how I got it even if they liked me to my face. It was the most drama filled petty group I've ever worked with, but it was a good paycheck. I'm glad I never married that girl. Once a cheater always a cheater. She also missed her pills and I pulled out so there is that too. She really wanted a kid too.

DCSS does not have flexibility or reasoning. They are functioning like it is possible for anyone that tries to make six figures with a part time job. If you're like most people that are barely struggling to live paycheck to paycheck, now you need at least 40% more than that just to break even. If you can't, fuck you, go be homeless. If you owe back due support, now it is 60%. That is how DCSS works.

Almost all amber alerts are these thugs enforcing their terrorism and has nothing to do with actual harm to kids. Often it is not in the best interests of the kids, it is set to maximize what one parent must pay because - commissioned agents.

So yeah. You're telling me I don't matter and basically I should have just died. I'm very inclined to acquiesce, so it is best for me to disconnect instead of letting this continue to hurt me personally.
